Is this how you feel about exams? Take a look at the link below. It's a great diagram. (But what do you think about the preposition 'on'? should be 'in'.)

However
Big thank you to Vince for his advice below on the use of commas with however;
‘However’ – comma or no comma?
‘However,…’ and ‘However…’ have completely different meanings so do not confuse them!
1. Always put a comma immediately after ‘however’ when using it to mean – ‘in spite of this’, ‘on the other hand’ and ‘nevertheless’.
2. Do not put a comma immediately after ‘however’ when using it to mean – ‘no matter how’.
Examples:
1. Millions have become unemployed during his period in office. However, many people continue to voice their support for the president.
2. However many people voice their support for the president, it appears his time in political office is over.
